Got a good story for you guys who have had bad playing experiences with Swish_130. But don't worry it has a good ending.
If you can't be bothered to read the whole thing, just know that I made him quit the game with 3:00 left in the 4th quarter, up 94-70.
For those who can be bothered to read, here we go:
So he messages me and says "practice game?". I don't really want to, so decline, but then realize I'm not doing anything so challenge him to a custom practice game which he accepts.
You guys may think the way I write about the game next is a bit harsh on him, but knowing his tendencies, the messages he's sent, just being an overall ***** and bad sport I think it's fitting.
Just mucking around for most of the 1st. I was thinking I'll stick around for 1/2 the game then when he gets annoying just quit, since it's not a league game.
I'm up 22-21 and he hits a trey with Ben Gordon on the buzzer at the end of the 1st. He then goes to instant replay and makes sure that I've seen the replay at least 3 times. So at the start of the 2nd I think hey - I'm going to get this kid.
When he tries to play isolation with Stephen Jackson, I quickly change the defense on the fly to a 2-3 zone, so instead he passes to Mehmet Okur for a dunk but Dalembert blocks him clean; a major block! So I instant replay and make sure he see's it twice.
Then he shoots it into the back of the backboard with Matt Howard and gets called for out of bounds, so once again I instant replay twice.
I can tell he's getting angry by this point.
Later when an Aaron Brooks pass goes straight through Dalembert's hands out of bounds he makes sure to let me see it again a few times.
No worries though, he pulls up for a lot of jumpers with Ben Gordon. Brooks gets his revenge by stealing the ball and going coast-to-coast for a lay-in, then on the next position blocking Ben Gordon's trey attempt.
So anyway we keep playing, we're both using our starting lineup and I'm holding a lead of about 6-10 for most of the game. Rudy Gay is doing his thing, and Tracy McGrady is shooting the ball insane.
I couldn't see the box score when he quit, but I can guesstimate that McGrady had about 26-30 points including at least 6 or 7 triple's.
Late in the 3rd I'm up by about 15, and he drives baseline with Stephen Jackson. I kid you not on what happened next.
Tracy McGrady bumps Jackson to force him into a tough shot, and Al Jefferson comes over on help side defense.
HE SWATS THE BALL INTO THE 10TH ROW!
Like I have never seen such a huge block on 2K10 before, the ball literally flew out into the crowd faster than I have seen it in any other game I've played before.
He sticks with it and tries to get back in it in the 4th with his isolation cheesing but I've learnt how to stop it and he gets no good results.
Parker and Ben Gordon drive the lane but Dalembert swats them every time.
The lead reaches 94-70 with 3 minuets left, he realizes he can't win so he quits.
After hearing the rude message he sent Katmagic after their game I'm expecting a "**** YOU" or something like that.
Instead I get: "good game. I've got dinner, play after?"
HAHA, I couldn't believe it. This guy can't even admit that he's lost, he is lying to himself...
Just thought I'd share.
yeah was a really good game and my first game i've dropped in that season!!! Well done bro, looking forward to the next one!! Today some time? Just to let you know im heading off Friday arvo to Monday on a trip so i wont be around for a game
